CLASP FOR HOSE-SUPPORTERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 766,272, dated August2, 1904, Application filed March 30, 1904. Serial No. 200,837. (Nomodel.)

.To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS Lrunnrnaa subject of the German Emperor, anda resident of 4:2 Faubourg du Temple, Paris, in the Re- 5 public ofFrance, have invented acertain new IO new construction of button-flap inwhich the metallic button, entirely covered by the tissue, conserves forits head a very graceful appearance, since the tissue is snugly tittedaround it, while its plate is quite invisible and can The tearing of thehose is thus avoided on account of the tissue which covers the metallicbutton. The possibility of being injured is also avoided, since all theparts of the button are hid- 2 den, and besides a very gracefuldevice,which can be easily constructed, is provided for. Finally, thebutton is not bulky, which is an appreciable advantage in such anapplication.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a plan 2 view of the ribbon or tapewhich serves to form the button-flap. Fig. 2 shows in plan and sectionalviews the special tubular ribbon adapted to cover the head of themetallic button. 3 and 4 show in longitudinal sec- 3 tion and in planview the single ribbon and the tubular ribbon connected together by themetallic button. Figs. 5 and 6 show in longitudinal section and in planview the next stage of the manufacture, the head of the button beingengaged in the buttonhole of the tubular ribbon. Fig. 7 is a perspectiveview of the next stage of the manufacture, showing the button-flappassed in the slide of the metallic eye. 8 and 9 show in longitu- 4dinal section and in plan view the complete Fig. 9 shows the or silktissue, a second tubular ribbon 6 with out any selvage, and a metallicbutton 0, provided with a plate which is preferably round and formed ofamale and female part inserted with force one into the other at themoment 5 of the mounting, as is wellknown.

The ribbon or tape a, Fig. l, is perforated at one of its ends with asmall round hole 1, adapted for the passage of the tail of the button,and near its other end it has an oval buttonhole which is preferablyprovided for during the weaving of the ribbon.

The tubular ribbon I), Fig. 2, has at one of its ends a small hole 3,made throughout both thicknesses, adapted for the passage of the tail ofthe button, and has near its other end a buttonhole 4, provided for onlyon one of the thicknesses during the weaving and arranged lengthwise.

The end of the ribbon a naving the hole 1 is placed above the end oftubular ribbon 6 having the hole 3, this latter having been flattened.The tail of the button is then inserted in the holes 1 and 3, and themale and female part of the button are then fixed together by pressure,which gives the whole shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The free end of thetubular ribbon is then tucked over the ribbon (a and the head of thebutton 0 is engaged in the buttonhole 4 of said tubular ribbon, as shownin Figs. 5 and 6. The head of the button is thus covered only by onethickness of the tubular ribbon. The free end of the ribbon a isthereupon engaged in the slide of the metallic eye (Z, which may be ofany suitable form. The ribbon is folded over itself, so as to cover thebottom of the plate of the button c, as can be seen in Fig. 7, and it isthen tucked over the button, so that its buttonhole embraces the headand shank of the button 0, which have already been covered by the tissueof the tubular ribbon, as already stated. The head of the button is thenclearly detached with its rounded form, the tissue fitting quite snuglyagainst same on account of the clamping action produced by thebuttonhole 2. It is then only necessary to fasten together by one seamthe free ends of the ribbons a and band to connect them at the same timeto the lower layers of the ribbon a. Before making this seam the end ofthe ribbon a is tucked over itself, so as not to have a raveled outwardedge, as is customary in the ordinary seaming work.

It may be understood that the button covered as above stated will not bebulky, be-

ends of the tubular ribbon can be free instead of one of them beingfixed to the ribbon at at the moment the button is secured in place. Inthis case each of these ends is fixed to the ribbon a by a seam.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

An improved button-flap for clasps of hosesupporters comprising ametallic button 0 with a base-plate in combination with a tubular ribbonb, said ribbon having a buttonhole in one of the thicknesses therein andinto which engages the head of the button a, a single ribbon a one ofthe ends of which carries the button 0 and the other end of which afterhaving passed in the slide of the usual eye of the hose-supporter claspis tucked over itself and over the button and is then fixed by a seam,said ribbon a having abuttonhole therein and embracing the head of thebutton 0 over the tissue of the ribbon b, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

JULIUS LINDAUER.
